Chapter 105

Kay: Please note that I ‘made’ an error in regards to the APC’s caliber .

It’s 762, not the .

30 .

Apparently, NATO changed the caliber to cartridge in question, but the A4 is listed as a .

30 .

 

NATO forces cal-swapped the M1919s, changing them to 7 .

62 from the .

30, and that was in the 90s; M1919s have been in service for a very long time and the author failed to mention this tiny little detail, the JPN gods only know why considering how much he loves to prattle on .

So, I will not be editing the previous chapter to cal-swap it like NATO .

__________________________________________________________________________

Currently, I am inside the Wolf Fang Labyrinth, traveling down a forested road on the 24th floor .

While it rained heavily, I used the LVTP, an armored personnel carrier (APC) while relying on my map display .

Throughout the ride, otter-like monsters had surrounded and attacked me during different points .

It reminded me of the monster manual I’d read in the General Guild’s library back in Barga, where I’d screenshotted every page, and so I pulled it up as I drove .

 

Those monsters seemed to be a monster called Aquatura, often encountered within the surrounding areas in Barga .

It used its small but sharp claws, as well as water magic, to attack; oftentimes in large groups .

Certainly, they’ve attacked me en masse every time I’ve encountered them and once they’d run out of magic, they’d resort to their claws .

Their claws weren’t strong enough to penetrate the APC’s armor, a scratching blow at most .

Once they ran out of steam, I’d just crush them with the tank tracks .

Aquarturas weren’t the only monster I encountered once I got past the 21st floor .

I also encountered a giant salamander-like beast, known as an Aquadorias .

It was 2 meters long with a black glossy body covered in red spots .

It moved as though it was swimming across the muddy terrain .

They never actually attempted to attack me, preferring to down their own thing .

However, sometimes, they’d stop in my path and leave me with no choice but to run them over .

 

 

Finally, when I looked at the map, the stairs leading to the 25th finally appeared on my map .

 

From the 21st to 25th floor, the heavy magical rain had been the only major obstacle – it being an environmental hazard – and despite how often the Aquaturas attacked me, they weren’t that strong individually .

Aquradorias didn’t fight and considering that I could easily run them over, firearms would’ve dispatched them easily enough .

I drove the APC over the stone staircase before I switched to the machine gun controls .

I turned toward the flock of Aquarturas that’d been following close behind, then tapped the fire button .

The LVTP-5’s mounted Browning machine gun was chambered in 7 .

62x63mm with an effective range around 1300 meters, but of course, it was difficult to accurately hit a target beyond the 1000 meter mark without a scope .

In any case, it would easily take down any target since its stopping power only dropped slightly at range .

 

Since I was using the TSS UI like a tablet, it made me feel like I was playing an old game .

That being said, I moved the crosshairs quickly, only stopping for a moment on target before moving onto the next one .

The turret moved left and right with precision, taking down the monsters as fire burst out the barrel with a roar .

  

After cleaning up the monsters, I opened up the hatch and exited the vehicle before returning it to the garage .

While I waited for it to recover its fuel and armor, I let myself get drenched in the rain as I collected the dropped stones .

It’d been only 4 floors, but I’d consume quite a lot of CP to arrive here – most of it being spent on fuel and armor .

 

If it was mostly just fuel, then the maintenance cost wouldn’t be so high .

VMB provided a wide range of vehicles, but the CP required to buy and maintain each vehicle was no laughing matter .

It was to prevent players from treating the vehicles as disposable items, like using them for suicide car bombs .

 

Although I had plenty of CP left, it was only because of a one-time event .

If I didn’t find a regular source of income soon, I’d really need to worry about my future .

Maybe I should talk to Mr .

Malta-san about it… No, I’m an adventurer, surely there was some exploration or other requests I could undertake to make a living .

 

Map-making for instance – I could sell the labyrinth map to Remy-san, the guild worker from the General Guild .

But wait, if I sold a map that depicted the entirety of the Wolf Fang Labyrinth, people would find out that I managed to reach the final floor, though if I were to try and sell it after sometime before the harvest festival, it’ll be too late… .

What should I do then… Fumu, maybe sell a map up to the 20th floor then take my leave…

I’ll be going south to assist Ashley after I’m done with the labyrinth anyway .

I won’t be around for the harvest festival .

I should just sell the map as soon as possible, and take what I can get .

While thinking so, I walked down the stairs towards the 25th floor, the guardian room .

Beyond this, there should only be the Labyrinth Master’s room…Even on the 25th floor, the heavy rain was unending .

 I summoned the LVTP-5 and set out to end this .

I traveled down another forested road for about an hour, crushing flocks of Aquatures along the way .

It would’ve been quite the battle if I weren’t inside an armored vehicle .

Now that I thought about it, even if I removed the labyrinth core to stop the monsters from spawning, it’ll take a considerable amount of time to subjugate the remaining monsters in order to have the harvest festival .

 

There, I could see it now .

The map showed an unnaturally looking square section and beyond it, a large gate supported by white stone pillars .

It was the gate that led into the guardian’s room .

I stopped the APC before the gates and checked my equipment .

Unfortunately, there was no information on this floor guardian in the library .

It seemed to me that the guild was hiding information, perhaps as a measure so that no random explorer could get past the guardian easily, or maybe that the guild planned to conquer the labyrinth itself one day .

 

But seeing that the labyrinth has existed for the past 25 years, I doubted there was such a plan…

 

Since this was my first time soloing a guardian, my main weapon was an MPS AA-12 with FRAG-12 shells .

The SCAR-H was my back up along with 2 of each of the 3 different special grenades .

The Five-SeveN was my secondary, along with a ballistic shield to complete it – Now I was ready to go .

 

According to the information I had, it was apparently possible to retreat from the guardian room .

My plan was to retreat and rearrange my loadout if it was found lacking .

I stored the APC in the garage, then looked to the gate before me .

The white pillars, and the gate itself, was decorated with carvings .

Upon close inspection, I noticed the carvings depicted a battle between humans and monsters, giving a hell-gate vibe to it .

On the top of the gate, there was a throne shaped ornament, on which a monster sat on while it looked down over me .

 

The monster’s head was a wolf, its eyes gave off the feeling that it was watching with intent .

I tried to ignore it as I pushed the gate open .

“Thi-this is…” 

The room beyond the gate… Was flooded with water .

To be exact, the entire room was a pond — Huh

Judging from this, could it be that the guardian was some sort of monster that lived near water like the rest of the monsters I encountered so far… I thought so as I observed all the water inside the guardian room .

The map displayed showed the walkable parts of the pond and I walked the obscured path covered in water – water splashing with each step .

As if attracted by the racket, a large black spot emerged from the pond .

 

The guardian was here .
